| My head's gonna explode from all the awesomeness!!! |
Howdy folks!
Back again with more More MORE. Almost the entirety of July, to be exact. Wasn’t able to watch as much as usual, but then, that gave me time to write more than usual. As for the horror flicks getting short shrift, ABCs of Death is more curiosity than film, Pacific Rim gets more and more sour the further away I get, and Beneath is from a filmmaker I love too much to properly skewer. Pretty much everything else gets the gala treatment – hope you dig the bounty.
As always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back.
Enjoy!
